My job starts at 8, I walk 20-30 mins so get up at 7 even though I am awake around 6.30 without even using my alarm clock. I need half an hour to get dressed, put hair up, a little make up (no eyeliner or anything just some skin tone powder), pack my bag and then I leave. Don't feel like having breakfast in the morning even though I would have 10 mins time for that if I hurry a little but meeh, rather get dressed slowly :D I LOVE that I can walk, helps a lot to wake up properly

i start at 7.45. i set alarm for 7, have 2 snoozes so get up at 7.18 . i dont understand how people can get up 5 mins before they start work, i am 'busy' getting ready the whole time between 7.18-7.44am and i dont shower or anything then.

Alarm went off at 5.35am this morning, so yep in time for Farming Today. Have got to quite like listening to that whilst deciding if I can drag my feet out of bed to make a cuppa.

As a live-out nanny I have about a 20-25 min journey to work and start at 7, so typically leave shortly after 6.30. Takes me a while to get moving in the morning, seems worse in winter when you get home in the dark and leave for work in the dark. Not so bad this time of year, though can be cold in the morning.

Normally up at 7 for an 8am start, but occasionally earlier starts are requested (ie parent has a meeting somewhere miles away from their office). If I advertised a 7am start, loads of working parents would love it.

I'm a Maternity Nurse and wake up what ever time baby charge wakes up. Last night was in bed just before midnight and 4 week old baby woke at 4am, had some milk (back in bed by 4.30am) and then woke again at 7.20am.

I was chatting to a friend and she was surprised that I get up so early. Is it unusual for a nanny to be up early enough to listen to farming today whilst trying to have something to eat? I have to leave home by 6:20 so alarm goes off at 5:30 so I can have a slow start to the day - well that 50 mins seems to go by quickly, enough time for a and cereal.
